To Our Friends & Neighbors,

At Buckley’s Drug Store, we take the health, wellness and safety of our customers and
staff extremely seriously. Like many others, we are closely following the guidelines
recommended by the CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention), WHO (World
Health Organization), other local and national health organizations as well as city and
state suggested and mandated practices as a result of the coronavirus, COVID-19.

Some of the measures we are taking to protect our staff and customers are:

Our store is following enhanced cleaning and sanitation protocols designed
specifically to prevent the spread of all viruses, including COVID-19 and the flu.
In addition to our regularly scheduled cleaning providers who cleanse and
sanitize our store, we have increased the frequency by which our staff members
clean high traffic surfaces throughout the day including but not limited to: door
handles, countertops, credit card keypads and signature captures devices

We’re recommending all employees to take precautionary health measures,
including frequent hand washing, social distancing, and staying home when sick

We are working relentlessly to obtain products like sanitizer, cleansers, rubbing
alcohol, and other items our customers need from our wholesalers as they
become available. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we
continue to work on replenishing merchandise.

While there is no COVID-19 vaccine at this time, the CDC recommends that
individuals over 65 or individuals with certain health conditions receive either the
Pneumcoccal Conjugate Vaccine (PCV13) or the Pneumococcal Polysaccharide
Vaccine (PPSV23), depending on previous vaccines they have received, to help protect
against several types of pneumococcal bacteria. PCV13 and PPSV23 do not prevent
all pneumococcal diseases however, and DO NOT PREVENT COVID-19. For more
information on whether you should receive the vaccine, refer to your doctor, the CDC
website, or you can speak to one of our pharmacists at 201-569-1345.

As of now, our hours of operation remain the same which is Monday through Friday
9:00am – 7:00pm and Saturday 9:00am – 5:00pm delivery service is still available at
this time. As always, if you have any questions about your medications or care you can
reach us at 201-569-1345.

We encourage you to visit the CDC website for up-to-date information and facts on
COVID-19. Our thoughts are with everyone to stay safe, stay vigilant and remain
healthy!

Medication: Important Facts You Need to Know About

There’s so much we need to know about the medication we take into our bodies. In fact, it would be ideal to cover all the bases before taking any kind of medicine, regardless of whether it has been prescribed to us by our doctors (they’re only human and are not beyond making mistakes). Not bothering to research or do your part in acquiring factual information about medicine may result in a lot of things: medication errors, wasting of time, wasting of money, and in the worst possible case, a decline in your overall health.

Sometimes it may seem that the medication you’re taking isn’t working.

Even if the medicine has been prescribed by your physician, there are instances when you just can’t feel it doing anything for you. It’s important to know why that’s happening. Go see a specialist in your quest to find answers.

The medicine’s taste may not be to your liking.

Your medication may taste unbearably bitter or have some other funny flavor, and you may think there’s nothing you can do about it. Well, there is, in fact, something you can do. Are you aware of medication flavoring? There are providers of Prescription Services in Englewood, New Jersey that offer medication flavoring as one of its many exceptional solutions.

Properly managing medications when traveling is something you need to learn, particularly when you’re taking multiple medications for your health.

If possible, make sure to plan things way ahead of your trip. What would be the right way to carry and store medicine? What would be the best way to remind yourself to take your medication? People often get carried away with work, especially when they’re on a business trip, that they forget they have health matters to take care of as well.

When the label says natural, does it really mean that it’s safe? Health products that are natural also carry with them risk to your health, the same way prescription medications do.

If you’re into natural health products, it’s important to research and learn more about them, preferably from a specialist.

It’s perfectly normal to have questions about the medicine, regardless of whether it’s you or a loved one who is taking them. You’d want to know why it has the effect that it has, or perhaps in some cases, why the effect is different from what your doctor told you. Of course, that’s just the beginning as there are plenty of other aspects about medicine you may want to get to the bottom of. Complete knowledge and understanding about the things you take into your body, especially when it comes to something as vital as medication, is necessary for one’s active participation in improving their health. Buckley's Drug Store & Compounding Center, a well-known Compounding pharmacy in Englewood NJ, would be more than happy to help you find the answers you need.
